I gave calpol 250 as soon as I noticed fever but the temperature continued to remain. So after 3 hrs I gave the child Meftal-P. In what time intervals can I give the next dosages? If the fever rises again

Typically, the initial day of fever tends to be both high and persistent. Therefore, please continue with calpol. I would rather avoid stronger medications. For children, I recommend opting for safer alternatives.
